PSU and Ram

[Raymondngo]

Hi. This is my future spec:

CPU: Intel core i5 4440

motherboard: asus vanguard b85

GPU: Gigabyte gtx 760 2gb

Storage: 120gb intel 530 ssd and 1tb wd black

drive: Samsung dvd 

ram: 8gb dual channel ram

What ram and psu should I buy? I plan to buy a FSP Raider 550W. Please help. Thank you very much

Any decent brand (Corsair, Crucial, G.Skill etc.) 1600/1866MHz RAM will do. Make sure you get 2x4GB. I've never heard of FSP, but the PSU doesn't look too bad. I would advise going with something like the Corsair CX series if you're on a budget, or the EVGA b series.

I would go with a corsair builder or pro series. Awesome performace, also somes with modular options aswell. Great for cable managment and a clean pc.

What's the budget? I see that FSP Raider 550w selling at $65 on Newegg. FSP is a decent brand but not so much for their lower tier psu. I would get either one of these instead;

XFX TS 550w

Seasonic S12II 520w

 

As for the ram,any brand will do as long as you get at least 1600mhz dual channel kit. Just get whichever is the cheapest. No fancy heatsink is necessary.
